REMOVAL ADVOCATED.
THE EMBARGO ON LIVE-STOCK. (Per Press Association). WELLINGTON, March G. The argument that there was no case for the embargo on the importation of live-stock from Britain was advanced by Colonel H. A. Reid, formerly in charge of the Wallaceville Veterinary Laboratory, when addressing the Makara-Hutt Valley branch of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union to-day. “My own important farming interests in New Zealand would restrain me from advocating its removal, had I the least fear of the introduction of disease,” he said. “But I have very grave fears for the future piospenty of the country if it is allowed to go on, based not only upon fears for the deterioration of our stock and hence our produce—hut also upon our commercial relations with Great Britain, which the embargo threatens.” Mr W. J. Poison, M.P., president of the Union, said he entirely agreed that the embargo on stock was a mistake and should be removed at the earliest opportunity.
